Abstract
Fractions and decimals are two interconnected crucial concepts with which children face enormous difficulty in middle school (Class 6-8). First, these concepts are difficult to visualise, and second, arithmetic operations on them are usually taught with a lot of abstraction with emphasis given to the rule to be used. Here, we will discuss division with decimal numbers – understanding the operation conceptually– and observe with the help of manipulatives how the rule emerges.
